Freelance and creative work
Shepperton has an unusual concentration of people doing film, media and freelance work, and their machines tend to be worked hard: large project files, external drives filling up, editing software that has started stuttering. Those are performance and storage problems more than they are faults, and they respond well to the right upgrade rather than a replacement.
Independent businesses
The high street and the units around it are mostly independents rather than chains, which means no head office IT to fall back on when the card terminal loses the network or the printer stops talking to the till. One visit usually settles it, and ongoing cover is available without a long agreement.
Homes and riverside properties
Older and larger houses along this stretch are notorious for Wi-Fi that gives up halfway down the hall. Thick walls and long floorplans usually need a mesh setup or a cable run rather than yet another router, and that is worth diagnosing properly before spending anything.
